Explores the issue of North-South representation through states & nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) by examining African state diplomatic representation to the Bretton Woods institutions & the US. Problems analyzing NGOs are laid out, revealing the complicated alliances that develop in the diplomatic community. Attention turns to formal African diplomatic representation & NGO activities on behalf of African constituencies in Washington, DC. Representation of an individual African state operates in various fora, & there is little official interaction between NGOs & these fora. In this light, Bush administration initiatives for Africa are considered in terms of how states & NGOs clash when their policy goals conflict & when they compete for resources with tandem interests. Some suggestions are offered for improved African state & citizen representation in formal international institutions. J. Zendejas

The United Nations at its present stage of development is a political system of formally coordinate Members, each able to place before the Organization the demands that flow from its own environment. One can hypothesize that a stable environment will yield a stable pattern of demands on the United Nations political system. Similarly it can be hypothesized that a change in the environment—the major components of which are the Member States—will change the pattern of demands made on the political system of the Organization. It is on just such a change that this article proposes to focus. In the period between 1955 and the end of 1968, 37 African states, largely devoid of experience in the contemporary international arena and struggling with the multitudinous problems of fashioning coherent national entities in the face of both internal and external pressures, joined the United Nations. The admission of these states substantially altered the Organization's environment and the demands being made upon it. It is suggested here that these changes have been so substantial as to alter the nature of the political process of the Organization. Concern will be focused successively upon the nature of the entry of the African states into the United Nations, a determination of the areas in which the African states have made demands upon the system, the constitutional structure of the Organization as it has evolved under the impact of the African states, the impact of the African states on the handling of major issues, and finally on trends and implications of the role of African states in the United Nations.
